I can't wait to weigh my project.............I'm using very little stock body work and not all of the metal either :-)
I don't think I'm going to pop for lighter wheels.......gotta draw the cash line somewhere :-)
I've opted for water injection intercooling vs a big metal cooler - which would look stupid........

Dub give us some more insight on your upcomming build. I've got a feeling you're going full tilt on your bike. Lee Sheirts told me pound for pound {boost} the zx is a little stronger than the busa. Sealing the frame is the only complaint He had. He could only run 12-13 lbs with out boost leaks. Velocity is building 2 prostreet 14's as we speak for a couple of fellows in South Africa. I was up in their shop 2 weeks ago and asked them about the frame sealing. Barry showed me some o-ringed plates he fabricated to hold 30 lbs of boost {600 hp} He told me these bikes would be fast as shit{7.20's} IF He wasn't sponsered by Suzuki He would consider running one himself. I'd love to go full tilt on a 14 but I've blown a big wad on the 08 busa turbo 
That is badass, Duncan'' I have not liked the tail section on the new busa's but yours is built to kinda not envisize it. Looks great. We are also building a pro street 14 is the plan, These things love the boost and sealing the box is not a big a deal as once was because there's much better seals and the material their made of out there!!

Use a plenum like other bikes..........then you also do not have to pressurize the whole airbox.

The power commander hub and ignition module can be used also to remove ignition based on boost.
